It is a husband's admonition to his snousr. and not so very different from what may be heard any place in I the U. SXA.'' "You have too much pow' les.on"is the translation of the jtfot cryptic sentence." s fS6 says a New York writer, addinc thMhe darlc-skinned women of the jr-ivortn have adopted wve- charm hancers ,of them sisters '. of the hite raeeiand use both powder and rouge rather freely.

There was a ime when Eskimo women used to have a tattoo mark putontheir chins. They believed it made them beautiful But since the rnoues invaded the domain of ice and snow in far off Alaska, they real- ize it made' them ugly and the lip stick dab has superseded the tattoo mark; The Eskimo women , use ficsh-colored powder almost to! the exclusion of all other, tints. As n . consequence, the contrast of their sdark skins 'and the nearly white powder, becomes ludicrous to the white woman. v .-American slang also has invaded the Igloo country "I'll say so!" in smooth English accents is a fre quent statement from . a ' leather gkjnnjed young brave The women no longer wear the longjeather jackets and trousers of thejr;mothers.

Summering Mrs. Henry Wyman is another well-known matron who de votes hersejf generously and effectively tolocal charities and who enjoys the lrreat out-of-doors during the summer months. Mrs. Wyman is' chairman of the nursery committee for the Salvatron Army Rescue home and, though the work of that committee is quietly done, it looms largely in the minds of all who know some thing of it. Mrs. Wyman is a member of the Y. W. C. A. board and of the Camp Brewster committee. The Wyman family is occupying the A. j. Reed country home, "Aloha," for the remainder of the season. -V- garden larkspur shewed in the grass, making a pretty" and unlooked-for combination. The corn is uplifting to gaze upon and to tljose interested in farming, and the probable yield, the waving acres bring a reviving message . after , the - two years of drouth and disaster. The- terrible hail storm of a year ago last May tore much, corn to tatters andfkilled quantities 'of appje trees and was in all a most depressing event. Those people who now rejoice in. normal apple trees are in the apple sauegjsea son. Anything more delectable than a bowl of cold, tart Duchess apple sauce it is h.ard to imagine.. The gathering of the pretty, gaily-striped apples is half the fun. What is more lovely than an apple, orchard in-generous bearing? One of William Morris' most beautiful tapestries in the South Kensington museum, Lon don, takes this familiar sight for a background. Waiter Crane, making the design and introducing the aes thetic, 'wide-browed, drapery-tossed women. -There is something subtle about an apple and ever since Eve offered her insincere gift to Adam it has held a place . in the world of art and literature. We moderns, perhaps, sigh even more for "golden apples" than our forebears and that for which we barter is certainly vastly less romantic. What should suddenly set the chicadees and 'the nut-hatches into a Million Dollar a Universitj of Nebraska ' alumnij in Omaha remember Jessie Beghol Lee. She was both student and in structor at that institution. Though she jtaught physical education, her literary talent was always quite ap parent. About ' three .years ago, Mrs. Lee' left Lincoln and the uni versity, to" reside in Chicago. Recently it seems, Mrs. Lee at tended, a dinner party and wrote out jingles of "some kinM for! the olace cards, by way of aecommola- liou to the hostess.

The pee-wee is an enervating bird, mak ing one limp in one's spine, and after listening to him on a hot day, it 'is a Qod's blessing .to have the cardinal whistle his energetic "what cheer" and get into the bird bath, where his gorgeous red coat never fails to arouse a .thrill. He is whistling this minute, and it would be nice if all the folks one met gave out so much of pleasantness. Don't we meet a frightful lot of pee-wees? Once this season I have seen the inland gulls over Carter Lake; gray fairies of the air, speaking vividly of the tang of the sal sea,' and ships, and far countries.

Business Women s Federation The National Federation of Busi ness and Professional Women's Clubs held its first annual conven tion in St. Paul, Minn';, the last week in July. Five hundred delegates rep. resenting more than 50 callings and professions attended. . Papers and magazines all over the country have been quick to recognize that here is a highly potential body, destined to rival in size and interest the largett bodies ot organized women in the country today. There are said to be in the United States more than 1.000,000 women holding executive or professional po sitions. I his means that there ' are over 1,000,000 Women who, because of special training, experience or ability, are in positions requiring initiative, These women were pj-actically unor ganized. They do . not belong to women's elubs, because they do not have time to attend afternoon meet ings. They dpunot belong to labor or trade organizations, because they are not in the trades. 1 hey . are managers and owners of depart ment stores, drug . stores or other mercantile establishments. They arc state or district insurance agents;" or farm managers, or advertising direc tors, or hotel or tea roottu owners.

It was to mee the needs of these womenand to pool their great abilities and spe cial experiences as a national asset that the federation was suggested It has been only one yeaf since the federation (was formed at it. iouis At that time there were comparative ly few clubs of business and profes sional women in existence, and it was agreed among the" leaders at St. Louis that if 100 clubseould be brought into the federation' during the, first year success would be as sured. - " ' Repoats at. St. Paul showed 287 clubs had paid their dues to tne na tional organization, while many othrs, newly organized 'or in pro cess of formation, have expressed in tention of federating.

The returning steamers from Eu rope are bringing back many of the women campaign speakers. They are busy women who went over for the nSost part, for a complete rest and recuperation from the season's vari ous labors, before taking up the new and strange duties of working under a campaign committee. Verily this is the age of woman. Mrs. James Carroll Frazer, born Van Rensselaer, 1 of New York, is one of the leaders among these.- She has but just re- -turned to this country from a mixed pleasure and business trip to Eu rope. She went over in her capacity as a vice president of the Navy League, and as chairman of the very important "comforts" committee of that organization which did such practical "and such wonderful work during the late war. There are branches of the Navy league over there, and the honorary president of the; league, CoL Robert M. Thompson, aijd the acting president, Henry Breckinridge, former assist ant secretary of the 'navy, went over on business connected with the league.. vMrs. Kate Waller- Barrett, Alexandria's greatest woman philan thropist, club worker and reformist, is also about to go out campaigning. ' Much excitement prevailed among motorists, pedestrians and news papers when the White House auto mobiles went into "drydock" of something and the President and Mrs. Wilson went back to the ancient method ofVriving out in a victoria with a pairSf chestnut col ored horses. It created no end of discussion and ' actual excitement. . Camera men and women infested the streets round ahout the WhiteHouse for days, and were systematically driven away as fast as they appeared. The camera won out, however and a picture was - taken and published which showed the unliveried coach man and the secret service footman, with a weary looking president and an annoyed first lady of the land, pulling on her gloves. As soon as the automobiles were repaired and placed again in commission . the President appeared promptly in the one he invariably rides, in, and the pretty story that he "was returning' to the fashions of the more primi- tive days, went up into the clouds. Women are breaking into another new field of importanceYin Wash ington, the theatrical business- in the -managerial end. The newest project is. a ljuge theater both for grown ups and for children, as well as-a coneert hall, all in the same build ing, work having already. Degun, by what is known as the Washington Theater company, Miss Katharine S. Brown at its head, Mrs. Mary Holland Kincaid,. sister-in-law of Representative Moses P. Kincaid of O'Neill, Neb., as secretary and Mrs. Glenna Smith Tinnin, prominent with the Society of Fine Arts, as vice-president and treasurer of the company. Mrs. Kincaid has for some time been connected with the democratic national committee and upon her return from the conven tion in San Francisco the end of -last month, she resigned that posi tion to give all hef time to this new work. She has had both newspaper and theatrical experience. The pro-' ject is quite the largest theatrical . enterprise vet known here, except the "movie" field. , Miss Ruth Hitchcock, daughter of the senior senator from Omaha, has gone from Atlantic City, where they all have been for some 1 weeks, to Newport, ti makea visit.- She wilt join her mother, again in Atlantic City bfcfore tliey return to" theic Washington home. -- Walter Penfield returned in time on Thursday to take part' in -the formal . opening; of the republican campaign in Washington, which took place- Thursday evening at Wardman .Park Inn. . He will join . his family at Sconset, Mass., for this week-end. i Miss Esther McLaughlin, daugh ter of the representative from York. Neb.,, and Miss Billy Dunn, also of York, - were among the Nebraska young women at the republican, rally on Thursday night, when Repre-... sentative v McLaughlin was one of the principal speakers. It was some thing quite new for Washington to feet some campaign atmosphere and great interest was taken in the cele bration by both men and women. " . Miss. Eunice Ensor. who returned . recently from a trip in the middle west, has spent the past ten days in New York and thereabouts, and is expected back tomorrow. There is much gossip concerning Miss En sor s future Dlans. as all signs point . to an early exchange of her single blessedness for the more responsible duties of marriage.
